Money is rarely just about money. In this practical and empowering session, Melissa Browne explores the relationship between finances, confidence and autonomy. With clarity and warmth, she challenges the myths that keep people, particularly women, from feeling capable and
informed, and offers concrete strategies for making financial decisions with confidence and purpose—from everyday budgeting to long-term planning, investing, and building financial independence.
